Why Green Infrastructure?
Public Meeting 1 Opportunities Education/Interpretive Signage Encourage Education, but do not encourage prolonged gathering Highlight the Pilot Project aspects Contact local schools to develop educational opportunities (Johnson, Gust, Denison, Kunsmiller, etc.) Design Consider Public Art Lighting (for safety) and a bench or two, but don t encourage gathering Challenges Existing Site/Process Maintenance how often will it need to be maintained, and by whom? Loss of Parking Tagging and vandalism Design Make sure there is adequate parking for neighbors Will this act as an attractant to neighborhood wildlife (raccoons, skunks, etc.)
